First-Year and Transfer Communities 

 

Welcome to the University of Oregon!

Our Experience Communities are self-paced learning platforms that provide resources, activities, and discussions designed to help you make connections and achieve success in your first-year at the University of Oregon. The platform is similar to Canvas, making it easy to navigate, and content is updated each term.

New students are automatically enrolled in the community before the start of their first term.

It has everything from academic and success resources, to well-being tools, to advice from students and faculty, to a place where insightful conversations can occur.
